EB-1 Green Card Lawyer

Permanent Residence for Extraordinary Talent

An EB-1 visa is a U.S. green card for people who are at the top of their field. This includes individuals with extraordinary talent in areas like science, art, education, business, or sports; outstanding professors or researchers; and executives or managers of international companies. It’s a way for highly accomplished professionals to live and work in the United States permanently

Why Choose EB-1 for Key Talent?

The EB-1 category sidesteps PERM recruitment, remains current in most visa bulletins, and extends work authorization to dependents—making it the fastest, least-burdensome path to permanent residence for top performers.

EB-1A: Extraordinary Ability

For top-tier achievers who can self-petition by showing a major award or at least three qualifying forms of national or international acclaim.

EB-1B: Outstanding Professors & Researchers

For scholars with global recognition and 3 + years’ experience; requires a U.S. university or research sponsor but avoids PERM.

EB-1C: Multinational Executives

For senior managers or executives moving from an overseas affiliate to a U.S. branch after at least one qualifying year abroad, leading straight to permanent residence.
